No, they use a different arresting and catapult system than us. Even if we could have stopped them, we probably wouldn't have been able to get them back in the air.
No, they're not nukes. Kitty gets decom'd in about 2 years and the JFK won't be too far behind...getting too expensive to keep them running. Plus, the JFK is worthless, is has more broken parts than working parts.
Correct - that is the ex-Foch, now Sao Paolo bought from France. The 'Charles de Gaulle', the only non-US nuclear-powered aicraft carrier in the world, has replaced it and it's sister ship, the Clemenceau.
Actually, if you count where the arresting wires would have been (they were removed because the Brazilians were scared of snagging them), you would only count three wires...Tell-Tale sign that this is CVN-76, The USS RONALD REAGAN.
The Brazilians did touch and goes on the Reagon?

Well with that attitude why even bother trying. There is no try, only do and do not. Next time you make it happen.

I dont think the brazilian carrier is operational currently so these guys were probably trying to brush up on their skills

It was operational When I took the USS RONALD REAGAN around South America to San Diego. How do you think the A-4's got out to us?
